MIAMI — An attorney for the late Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez says he was unfairly blamed by investigators for the 2016 crash that killed him and two others.
The Sun Sentinel reports that attorney Ralph Fernandez made the argument in a legal filing meant to defend the pitcher's estate from a civil lawsuit.
The Monday filing accuses Florida wildlife agency investigators of prematurely concluding that Jose Fernandez was responsible and then altering or ignoring evidence to the contrary.
